NWU nou Adriaan Strauss se MBA-tuiste
Hy was die 56ste Springbokkaptein. ʼn Kanniedood-werkesel wie se blonde kop orals op die veld te sien was. ʼn Beweeglike haker met genoeg wringkrag om ʼn hele rugbyveld vir 80 minute lank om te dolwe. ʼn Leier. Met die aanvang van Allister Coetzee se era as Springbokafrigter is daar op Adriaan Strauss se knoppie gedruk om die nasionale span te lei.…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-now-mba-home-adriaan-strauss
NWU now the MBA home of Adriaan Strauss
He was the 56th Springbok captain. A tenacious workhorse whose blonde head was visible everywhere on the field. A mobile hooker with enough torque to dig up an entire rugby field for a full 80 minutes. A leader. At the start of the Allister Coetzee era as Springbok coach, Adriaan Strauss was called up to lead the national team. This decision was…https://news.nwu.ac.za/ruan-takes-reins
Ruan takes the reins
It was a unanimous decision – neither the players nor the team management hesitated. There is only one man who can be tasked with leading the North-West University (NWU) Eagles attack in their 2022 Varsity Cup campaign, and that man is Ruan “Sampie” Swiegers. As tight head he is after all used to leading his team from the front in their search…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/ruan-vat-die-leisels
Ruan vat die leisels
Dit was ʼn eenparige besluit – nie die spelers of spanbestuur het gehuiwer nie. Daar is net een man wat getaak kan word om die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) Arende se aanslag in hulle 2022 Varsitybeker-veldtog te lei en daardie man is Ruan “Sampie” Swiegers. As vaskopstut is hy immers gewoond daaraan om sy span se soeke na voorvoetbal in die skrums…https://news.nwu.ac.za/accounting-alumnus-shows-peers-how-its-done

Misdaad word gestraf, maar wat van rehabilitasie?
Die Suid-Afrikaanse strafstelsel het gefaal, en as gevolg daarvan is misdaad buite beheer. Dit is die harde en ongemaklike werklikheid wat die samelewing moet trotseer, en die land se kwellende misdaadstatistiek getuig daarvan. Een rede daarvoor is die gebrek aan rehabilitasiegeleenthede wat vir oortreders beskikbaar is. Die bekoring daarvan om…https://news.nwu.ac.za/crime-and-punishment-what-about-rehabilitation
Crime and punishment, but what about rehabilitation?
The South African penal system has failed and as a result crime remains out of control. This is the harsh and uncomfortable reality that is plaguing society, and the country’s haunting crime statistics attest to that. One reason for this is the lack of rehabilitation opportunities available to offenders. The allure of falling back in old ways can…https://news.nwu.ac.za/ikateleng-donor-spends-day-fundraising-team
